Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups coconut oil
- 0.5 cups honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup raw pistachios, chopped
- 0.5 cup chopped dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Add the egg to the wet mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in the chopped pistachios and dark chocolate pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and starting to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these paleo-friendly treats with your favorite beverage or pack them as a wholesome snack.
